Insults & Banter
Playful put-downs, teasing, and mild insults
はじめに
イギリス人は「愛情込めた悪口」の達人です。友達同士なら「you daft pillock（おバカさん）」は愛情表現だし、「bless your heart（かわいそうに）」はバカと言う最も丁寧な方法かもしれません。悪口のようで悪口じゃない——このユニークな才能がイギリスのユーモアの核心です。
バンター——からかいの言葉を楽しく交わし合うこと——はイギリスの友情、職場、パブの社会的接着剤。怒らずにバンターを楽しめる能力は高く評価されます。イギリス人にからかわれたら、それは大抵気に入られている証拠ですよ。
この章では、軽いもの（「numpty」）からもう少し強いもの（慎重に紹介していきます）まで、イギリスの悪口語彙を学びます。正しく使えば会話に彩りを添えますが、間違えると喧嘩になるかも——だから文脈がすべてです。
